$7Million To Leave CUSA

[ADLER]

so 7 million - 500K = 6,500,000 / 5 years = 1,300,000 per year that teams in the CUSA get

football playing teams in the big East were getting 9 million per year or more

so 7 million to leave + 2 million to join = 9 million given up to get 7.7 million more per year for years to come.....yea that is a real "sucker move" there

this article says that WVU is looking to make 18 to 19 million in the Big 12 about double what it make in the BE

http://espn.go.com/c...suit-settlement

so on the low side that would be 9 million per year in the BE

this article says that UH was looking to make 3 million in CUSA (conflicts with the link in the OPs post) and 10 million with the new BE TV deal for a 7 million dollar difference per year

http://www.chron.com...new-2393437.php

so even at those numbers that is still a 7 million dollar per year increase or 5.7 million more per year for the 5 years with reduced income which means that in year two teams moving from the CUSA to the BE will be 2.4 million ahead and from then on 7 million ahead per year......again that is a real "suckers bet" there

and if you use the low payout numbers for the BE from the OPs link and the high payout CUSA numbers from the UH link you are still at 7 million per year paid in the BE and 3 million per in the CUSA for a 4 million dollar advantage which means that in year 3 the new BE schools would be 3 million ahead and from then on 4 million per year ahead......again that is a real "suckers bet" there.......earning 133% more per year after a 2.5 year break even

They'll probably give Steve Orsini a raise.

the Big 12 just completed a deal with Fox for second tier rights last year starting this year.....the other agreement is just a rumor at this point

they would not be paying twice for the same content because the rights are for the home team only and SMU is just a single team from conferences with 10 teams and 10 or so teams

the BE has already declined a deal with ESPN one time and they will be negotiating with Comcast/NBC most likely next so again the idea (already proven false) of paying twice for the same content is not true

Big 12 teams don't care about other teams fans showing up they care about their own teams fans showing up that is why they are in the Big 12 not the belt

Rice has next to no fans...Texas prefers to play them because they will move the game to Reliant and let Texas sell all the tickets they can and Texas would work that deal with anyone.....Texas would play Houston, but UH had an issue with trying to limit Texas selling seats and then when UH placed Texas fans in temp bleachers those bleachers were declared unsafe and Texas blew them off

Texas will not play TAMU in the future because TAMU acted like such low class babies when they left the Big 12 and blamed it all on Texas even though TAMU was in favor and actually the largest beneficiary of unequal revenue in the last few years

there is not going to be a mass rescheduling of games with SMU and Big 12 schools that is just pure garbage you can believe what you wish, but that is just your reality and simply not actual reality

top teams usually avoid playing each other because they prefer to get home games so they have 7 games at home per season and they can sell more season tickets to their own fans for higher prices and it is easier to buy in teams that are willing to whore themselves out like North I hope none of you will judge me too harshly when I confess that I've always thought Jerry Sandusky was just misunderstood

The reason the contract was originally rejected by BE was not because of dissatisfaction with ESPN/Fox but the division of revenues between football and non-football schools. New negotiations will be ESPN/Fox. You don't walk away from someone who puts 155 million dollars on the table.

Texas/Rice proves my point. Rice is not a member of a Big 6 conference.

You are right home school TV rights are superior. That's the point if a Big 12 plays SMU it will be at the BIG 12 home where they have superior tv terms and greater revenue from attendance. ESPN/Fox already has a large market share in the DFW because of its contract with Big 12. Even with the BE contract with ESPN/Fox, the networks will be more likely to televised home games in Northeast where most of BE viewership is located. ESPN/Fox will have a choice of TCU,Baylor, Texas or Oklahoma games to televise in DFW from the Big 12. SMU having a home game with Big 12 team does not improve it's viewer ship in DFW over SMU playing an away game a Big 12 team. The networks will prefer to televise SMU playing SDSU or Boise State at home and gain market share in San Diego or Boise. Although rare when Bigs play other Bigs they a team that is a completely different region. ESPN/Fox do not want to pay twice for the same game (market share). In terms of number of viewers in DFW it does not matter if TCU plays SMU or MTSU. But, if SMU was to play UNM instead of TCU. ESPN/Fox gains viewers in Albuquerque. So in simple terms. On any given Saturday Fox/ESPN can capture large numbers of DFW viewers without SMU playing regional opponents. The real value of SMU is to play teams out of region to expand the number of viewers elsewhere.

Really how shitty is your life when you get enjoyment out of coming to forums to troll North Texas fans?

How does one wake up and think, "I'll show those guys at UNT by posting on gomeangreen and refuting everything their posters say while trolling them every month or so under new user names MUAHAHAHAHAHA?"

I genuinely don't see how or why anyone would spend time doing that.

No kidding.

Can y'all just please quit quoting his entire post when responding to him? It takes up way too much room on my screen.

[tylermeangreen]

just curious troll....which bridge do u live under?

You guys that respond to that nut only encourage him. Dressed only in his tighty-whities in his little dark room, he is getting his "jollies"when you respond to him. One can easily see that he LIVES for your responses to his diatribes.

Ignore him i.e., NO responses, and he will go away.
